Crowd Work for Improvisers

This workshop is now full

What happens when we bring the same kind of attention and eagerness to play to our audience as we do our scene partners? How can we safely engage our audience members in that play? And what new forms become possible if we start our process of discovery and creation with the assumption that anyone, or everyone, could be involved?

Drawing on techniques from the world of clown and bouffon, we’ll explore the tools for audience interaction in improv. The workshop emphasizes safety, intention, and discovering original games/interactions that are genuinely fun and engaging for everyone.

This is an intermediate to advanced workshop. To register, you should have *minimum* 50 hours of improv experience & instruction. If you have questions about your level, contact jess@kinkonauts.com
